Kitchen Colanders Faces by Isaac Cordal
Belgian artist Isaac Cordal creates these shaped wire mesh kitchen colanders into faces and installed them on the streets as part of his urban installation, Cement Bleak, in Dalston, London.
Each kitchen colanders propped up in gaps between pavement slabs using its handle so that when the light from a nearby lamppost passed through, a three-dimensional face was projected on the ground.

Amazing Paper Sculptures by Calvin Nicholls
Canadian artist Calvin Nicholls creates these amazing sculptures using sheets of paper.
He’s been creating these paper sculptures since 1986 from his studio in North of Toronto Ontario, Canada.
He uses sheets of paper and a scalpel and cuts the component pieces to fit the final drawing, then assembles the low relief artwork under studio lighting. When the sculpture is complete, the lighting is adjusted so it highlights the subtle form and texture.

Charissa Brock creates these stunning sculptures made of bamboo.
"Singing to the Sun", Fused and constructed glass, black bamboo, steel.

“Where the Sun Sleeps”, Black Bamboo, fused glass, rock, Waxed thread, and steel.
“Tettares”, Black bamboo, waxed linen thread.
"Bamboo, rocks, and wax linen thread are used to create my sculptures, which contain references to tools, weapons, and musical instruments. In the past archeologists have found objects such as these containing clues about the development of culture and the consciousness of man. When I look at the objects created in the past I have questions: "What was it for? What ceremony surrounded it? What is the story of the person behind the object?" These same questions could be asked of contemporary handmade objects."
"Queen of the Night", Black bamboo and waxed linen thread bent and sewn bamboo, fused glass.
“Where the land meets the Water”, Dyed bamboo, waxed line thread, fused glass, steel.
"Avis Unda", Black bamboo celery cane, glass, plyboo.
"In the abstract objects I create, I incorporate a continuous narrative of my own internal culture, one that includes all cultures I am exposed to. Referencing the objects of the past through knots, interwoven lines, and stacking systems, I am creating a story of culture in hopes of calling to mind the story in us all."
“Amaranth Flower”, Black bamboo, paper, waxed linen, fused glass.
“Speaking From Below”, Black Bamboo, fused glass, rock, waxed thread, and steel.
From left to right:

Embroidered Wine Stain Portraits by Amelia Harnas
American artist Amelia Harnas uses wine stains to make works of art.
[link]
"My process for creating these wine stain portraits uses a wax resist (batik) and repeated wine stains to build up a light/dark pattern. Then, I add embroidery (split stitch, to be precise) to reinforce the design of the portrait."
[link]
"So far, my equipment is rather crude, melting dead candle remnants in a coffee can over a propane grill or stovetop & painting the wax resist with a kiddie bristle brush. The first stains are made with a $10 bottle of French Cahors, but subsequent stains will feature Finger Lakes reds chosen for deep color and lowest residual sugars."
